Presented by the Metropolitan Museum of Art as though Claude Monet created a picture book for youngsters up to 8, Monet's Impressions pairs full-page, close-up reproductions of his paintings with the artist's own words to create a unique introduction to Monet's work and his artistic philosophy.

"Varied in mood and subject matter, the vivid paintings are beautifully reproduced on the heavy, white pages, while on facing pages, pithy phrases offer either a brief accompaniment to each picture or a starting place for conversations between adults and children reading the book together. The book gives a sense of the artist's purpose, style, and range.... A fine, early introduction to Monet's paintings."—Booklist
